That's a wild take coming from a rival fan. The idea that Texas isn't a title contender because of a quiet draft risers list ignores how they've actually built this roster. They returned a massive amount of production, including Quinn Ewers, who had a 157.1 passer rating in Big 12 play last year. Their offensive line is stacked with multi-year starters, and they've recruited at a top-five level for three cycles straight. The defense finished last season 12th in yards per play allowed, and they bring back most of that unit. Championships are won by complete teams, not just by having a couple of guys shoot up mock drafts in the spring. Look at their red zone touchdown percentage, which was top 15 nationally. That's how you win games. Their schedule is tough, but saying they can't contend because the media isn't hyping their draft stock in April is missing the entire point of team football. They have the experience, the talent composite, and the quarterback to win it all. The draft talk will come after the season when they're playing in January.
